Jedi Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 This week I have been playing Neil Young/Crazy Horse "EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS IS NOWHERE" album like it is going out of style. I was particularly interested in what guitars/amps/pick-ups/any info you got really- that were used in "Cowgirl in the Sand." Particularly, the lead guitar, man, you talk about a great rock and roll tone. I love it. Whew! I'm getting all tingly just talking about it. It's funny because I can't even tell if it's a Les Paul or a Strat. I'm usually a little better at hearing that major difference. I think they're using Marshalls, though. What do you guys think?

Gabriel E. Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 I don't knowabout that album but Young typically uses an old Tweed Deluxe amp (5E3?) and a 1950s Les Paul equipped with P90s and a Bigsby.

Tedster Posted March 8, 2002 Share Posted March 8, 2002 Neil Young is well known for his use of Gretsches as well. Him and Steve Stills both sported Gretsches when I saw 'em here in KC two years ago. Big hollowbody ones, like White Falcons... "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thanks a lot guys. One question. What's a Bigsby? And the P-90s can I put those in a strat? Atleast on the bridge or something? And definitely check out that album. Very authentic, honest stuff. I love it like a mother, but it took a half a minute to grow on me. Thanks again. Jedi "All conditioned things are impermanent.

Jedi Posted March 9, 2002 Author Share Posted March 9, 2002 Thanks Tedster. He used it a lot on the song I mentioned, "Cowgirl in the Sand." Does it make your guitar go out of tune right after you use it like the Strat's wammy? Namaste Jedi "All conditioned things are impermanent. Work out your own salvation with diligence."

Tedster Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 Yeah, kinda. You've got to be judicious with those things. They're not Floyd Roses by any stretch. "Cisco Kid, was a friend of mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel E. Posted March 9, 2002 Share Posted March 9, 2002 I've actually never seen a Strat with P90s but I think Seymour Duncan makes a strat-sized P90 so you don't have to rout. It would probably sound great. "You never can vouch for your own consciousness." - Norman Mailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
